A final Goodbye

Well this is a hard one this year. As most of you probably know my step father passed away in December. Last weekend we had the burial ceremony. So its obvious on everyones mind. Usually for fathers day I would write him a note saying how Blessed me and my mom are to have him and how much he has meant to me. Well this year I cant do it, and thru tears and tiredness I write this last letter to my stepdad.

Gary, no words can convey how thankful I was for you. You came into my moms life at a time when it was rough. You helped taken a broken family and put it together. Some of the happiest times I remember my mom is when she was with you. You came into my life as a stepfather, but acted more like a dad. I know I dont always express it but I love you and thank God that my mom had found someone so great. Thank you Gary for being a part of my life and my moms life. Thank you for loving my mom and being there for her. Thru the good times and bad you were there. You took her places she has never been. Things she has experienced in her life she would never have if it wasnt for you. Thank you. I miss you and love you. Happy Final Fathers Day Gary. 

This is a hard time. Remembering how awesome he was makes me happy and feel blessed, but makes me sad knowing he is gone…I take joy in the fact he is with Jesus though.
